Vale of Glamorgan Reopening Campaign

On 28th February 2002, Valley Lines operated a special train over the
Vale of Glamorgan and Ebbw Vale lines, to view the new station
sites, the infrastructure etc.

In this photograph, by Bill Price, the special is shown at
Llantwit Major. The platforms of the old station (closed in 1964) can be
seen; they will be built out to the existing tracks (the old station having had
four tracks, with the platforms on loop lines). The reinstated platforms will
be long enough for 4-car trains.
